What is needed for repstrapping?

Hello!

Can all the plastic pieces of the carthesian be produced with only one printhead with polymorph or is it necessary to use a filler material, i.e. two heads?

I'm thinking especially of the swiss-cheese corner pieces...

I believe everything can be made with one head. I read somewhere, that I can not find again, that the corner brackets have tear shaped holes and other clever features that allow them to be made without support.

aha I see, is it the "V" of the teardrop that is printed on top?

So it is possible to make hollow shapes as long as the angle is not to steep (i.e 45 degrees)?
